 Posted: Mon Jun 02, 2008 8:31 pm Post subject: Vice Versa Command Line |
 |
|
We have a VBSCRIPT that is run on login here and want to use that to start ViceVersa on login to do a synchronization (without a profile to keep it generic for all users).
There are two pending issues with this, though.
1. You can not set file types to include or exclude from the command line. Is there a way to pass file extensions like *.avi; *.exe to the program? Or link it to an exclude/include text file?
2. When you try to use the /Exec:1 switch, you will always get an error that there is no tracking database. It seems you can only use synchronization if you have a profile set up. Can this be resolved?
For reference, the function that starts Vice Versa
| Code: |
Function RunViceVersaBackup()
If ( IsProgramInstalled("ViceVersa", 32) = 0 ) Then
If ( IsProgramInstalled("ViceVersa", 64) = 0 ) Then
Exit Function
End If
End If
source_dir = ShellENV("USERPROFILE")
target_dir = "H:\BACKUP_NO_TOUCH\"&UserObj.Name
arguments = "/source:"""&source_dir&""" "
arguments = arguments&"/target:"""&target_dir&""" "
arguments = arguments&"/hiddenautoexec "
arguments = arguments&"/wait "
arguments = arguments&"/showtrayicon "
arguments = arguments&"/createfolders "
arguments = arguments&"/incsub "
arguments = arguments&"/comptype:0 "
arguments = arguments&"/ign2secs "
arguments = arguments&"/exec:2 "
arguments = arguments&"/log:""H:\ViceVersaLog.txt"" "
arguments = arguments&"/speed:25 "
WSHShell.Exec "C:\Program Files\ViceVersa Pro 2\viceversa.exe "&arguments
End Function

Hello
I think it would be better to define a generic profile and use that profile on the command line , instead of using the parms, because the command line does not support all options.
You could define a generic profile with
<USERPROFILE> as source (literally use <USERPROFILE> in the source)
H:\BACKUP_NO_TOUCH\<USER> in the target.
The use the profile name on the command line (see ViceVersa help for command line options)
thanks

Thanks!
What about the tracking database in the generic profile?
Could a future build support something like <USERPROFILE>\vvdb.tdb and automatically create it from the command line? Or is there already a work-around? |

Hi, we plan to add some variables for the tracking db in future releases. Currently the database is stored in the application data folder. thanks
